Holly M:

“Working with Jo has improved my balance, strength and endurance. I continue to increase overall awareness of my body. The techniques Joanna has taught me during warm ups have been of great use to me in physical activity outside of training. As a queer, gnc person, it is a high priority to feel comfortable being vulnerable. Going to gyms or other gender-charged spaces has not worked for me. Jo has been kind, understanding and never makes me feel uneasy about my body. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to become more in touch with their power. I’m incredibly grateful for their presence in my life. Their wisdom and expertise is invaluable.”

I understand that we all have our own individual histories that live in our bodies - and that these histories can act as barriers to embodiment and joyful movement. As a movement and breath practitioner, my aim is to bring greater ease and pleasure into your experience of living in your body.
